Foundation
Day

Hak Ja HanJanuary 10, 2013Excerpts

Beloved blessed families around the world, family members,
ambassadors for peace, I am praying that this day will be one filled
with Heaven's grace for all of you.

Beloved members! How are your preparations for Foundation Day
going? In a phrase, it is the era of the re-creation of heaven and
earth.

Do you all have unity between mind and body? Have you created
oneness in the circumstances you are in, oneness in your family, and
oneness in your society? Those who have achieved that, please raise
your hands. There are presently thirty-three days remaining until
Foundation Day.

Today Church President Chang Shik Yang gave a good sermon. Beloved
members, you will have been thinking about many things. To put it
briefly, we are sinners in front of Heaven. In front of the grace we
have received from Heaven, we have not been able to fulfill our
responsibility at all. Is there anyone who can stand up and proudly
say he or she has completed everything?

At this point in time, what is very clear to us is that for the
first time in history we are ushering in Foundation Day, a day of
blessing never before seen and which will never be seen again.

However, what is your attitude toward it at this time? Do you
intend to receive it without doing anything for it? Will you receive
it in the capacity of sons and daughters? Tell me.

Is there one person among you who can place a hand over your heart
and listen to what your innermost conscience tells you?

Once again, we need to think about Father, who has gone before us,
and repent while dressed in sackcloth. We need to be able to forgive
one another. How? How?

The work for God's providence of restoration through indemnity was
hard enough, but True Parents still give everything unsparingly and
wish for you to become proud citizens of Cheon Il Guk. We, however,
are so unworthy in front of them. We are not ready at all. What,
then, should we do?

You need to place yourselves in the lowest position and receive
the coming Foundation Day with a repentant heart while asking Heaven
to take pity on you.

On that note, I would like to say this: Those who are involved in
these unnecessary lawsuits in Korea and overseas should repent. I
wish to tell them to put everything down and start afresh through
Foundation Day. The blessed families in all parts of the world who
are making preparations to welcome Foundation Day should observe a
period of time during which they have nothing to be ashamed of in
front of Heaven.

I have opened all doors through Foundation Day. I have opened the
doors wide for anyone who will resolve to join the ranks of the
filial, the loyal and the faithful and translate beliefs into action,
practicing absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience until
his or her last moment on earth, centering on True Parents.

When we make such a resolution and carry it out, we will not need
to indemnify anything in the future. Do you understand? We need to
prepare for the era of Cheon Il Guk, which is free from indemnity. We
need to fulfill our responsibility, therefore. No one else can do it
for us. It is up to us to fulfill it. That is why, as I have said, we
now need to stake our lives on and devote all our energies toward
doing so.

Such things will be unnecessary in an ideal world. Isn't that so?
Will you do it? If you promise to do so, clap as loudly as you can,
until all of heaven and earth is ringing with your applause.

Thank you. I hope and pray that your devotions will bring glory to
heaven and joy to earth and that you will all become beloved and
acknowledged citizens of Cheon Il Guk in the eternal era of Cheon Il
Guk.

Let us once again make the resolution to do our best to accelerate
our work of guiding all 7 billion people of the world to become its
citizens under our Heavenly Parents. Only when you have achieved this
can you be free when you pass into the next world.

We will live in a world that is free from accusation. If you fail
to fulfill your responsibility on earth, accusations will follow you
into the eternal world. Then, in the spirit world, where you breathe
with your heart of love, you will have trouble breathing. You need to
know this.

Therefore, even if you are getting older, that is fine. I ask you
once again to fulfill your responsibilities while you are still on
earth, so that you can freely stand in front of True Parents in the
eternal world and be proud of yourselves.

With these words, I would like to conclude this assembly.

The
Foundation Day logo, named in English and Chinese characters, with a
phoenix and crane, symbols of a divine being and True Parents,
represents the Holy Wedding of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and
Humankind and the Registration Blessing of all blessed families.

Until now, True Father carried out his work for the providence
worldwide, and he established leaders in each nation to take charge
of their respective nations, but they have failed to fulfill their
responsibilities. Not one nation can boast of having made any great
achievements. In particular, they have failed to educate their
successors, their second-generation members, and their leaders.
Therefore, to set an example for others, I have established a
military-type school. [Applause] It is not a military school like
West Point. Actually, it is an educational institute for the
nurturing of leaders, which will become world famous in time. It
offers courses for a master's degree. We will select students with
the required qualities from amongst the graduates of four-year
colleges and focus on educating them in the Divine Principle and
character development for two years, after which they will go out to
work in the field. Thus, they will be educated for a total of three
years. Then, we will send them out to carry out witnessing work
officially. Depending on their aptitude, they will be able to choose
between spending their life in the ministry or working in other
providential organizations.

For sixty years following the establishment of our church, True
Father worked publicly and earnestly for the sake of God's
providence. It is not an overstatement to say that he spent two
thirds of that time, that is, forty years of his life, in America.
Our eternal homeland is Korea, but he invested more in America. Why
was that? He was thinking about all humankind. The great blessing
that America is the eldest-son nation means it should gather the
brothers together in unity and bring them to the parents. Have you
been thinking about this, day and night?

To the world, at this time, and to this nation, True Father came
and did his work as the returning Lord, the Messiah and the Savior.
Given that, is it enough that you bring just a few blessed families?
For more than sixty years of his life, True Father took
responsibility, devoting himself to raising you, explaining that you
are to fulfill the tribal messiah mission and bless 430 couples. If
blessed families had fulfilled these responsibilities, we could have
honored Father more gloriously when sending him off to Heaven. The
world's six billion people could have seen with their own eyes that
the Messiah's Second Advent had occurred and on that basis determined
their own paths. We failed to prepare. We committed a serious sin in
front of Heaven. Our wearing sackcloth, mourning bitterly and
offering prayers of repentance for a year would be insufficient
because the sin we have committed is too serious. The fact that we
did not fulfill our responsibility is a serious sin. We only received
love but we did not know how to share it. We ourselves did not grow.

True Father worked day and night without rest, throughout his
whole life. (I also have never slept more than three hours a day from
when I began attending True Father.) Therefore, we are tired
throughout the day, aren't we? Because we are human. Now, True Father
has gone to the spirit world. He transcends time and space and is
working busily. I imagine he does not have time to sleep. Today, I
speak to you in order to open the way not only for you but also for
your descendants in the future.

True Father's teachings and life's work are like gemstones. No
matter how precious a gemstone is, it must be cut and polished so
that it glitters. Briefly stated, a gemstone is a gemstone, yet it
starts out unrefined. I want to bring glory to Heaven by preserving
these teachings permanently. This would be to prevent some
overconfident person in the future touching them; so that there would
be nothing added or subtracted in future generations. I alone can do
this. Isn't that true? Who else could do it?

I am well aware of the process by which Cheon Seong Gyeong was
made. From now on, things will never happen in that way. When True
Father's teachings are published, the content should go through many
committees -- a process of examination -- before a book comes out.
All of this is for your benefit, and for your descendants benefit. I
do this so that you can hold this book in your arms when you go to
the spirit world at the end of your earthly life. Be proud in front
of True Father. Report to him, "During my life, thanks to
receiving training from Mother, I loved this book, I loved your
teachings so much that I have come with it in my arms." I am
saying that I am going to perfect, complete and conclude this
clearly.

We must change the names we use. When we pray to God, from now
please change what you say to "Heavenly Parent." The name
"Heavenly Parent" is smooth in English and it is meaningful
in the Korean, too. Don't you agree? The first words you say when you
pray should be "Heavenly Parent" and then "Loving True
Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind." Make these changes
first. If I don't sort this out as we welcome Foundation Day, you
will not be able to do that. Not even my children can do that. This
is something I have asked my original mind. Do you understand? [Yes.]

From now, we are not the Unification Church but the Family
Federation for World Peace and Unification. I planned to announce
this after Foundation Day, but we need to be united on this matter
before the Foundation Day Ceremony. I am saying this because there
needs to be unity.

Come with me to the end.... Actually, since True Father's
ascension I cannot fall into a deep sleep without taking something.

I guess that reflects my character. I am the kind of person that
cannot sleep if something remains unsettled. But after meeting you
today, I realize I am not alone. I think that here are the laborers,
my sisters and daughters, who will accept my will and work
accordingly.

Let's make the coming seven years, until 2020, the best years of
our lives, until the day we offer this nation to Heaven. Will you do
that?

And didn't I say that after Foundation Day I am going to offer
this nation to Heaven in 2020, one hundred years since True Father's
birth? I sincerely ask everyone here to participate and to be woman
leaders who are grounded in loyalty, devotion and virtue. There can
be no king without a people. Therefore, we women must nurture, give
birth to, and increase the citizens of Cheon Il Guk. It is not only
for this nation. Until we give rebirth to the 7 billion people of the
world, we will use the expression "devoting ourselves completely
with a life or death commitment." Will you do that? So, what
must we do? Invest our very lives. We have a nation that we must
offer to Heaven in seven year's time. It's a small country. Thinking
in terms of the world, it is small.

It should be unified, first of all. We ought to lead it in that
direction. Therefore, how important the role of our women is! Think
about it. Moreover, it's not now a time to do a daughter's work.
Rather, it's a time in which we must take on a mother's mission. We
should give birth to and raise a child.

True Father built a big house and gave it to us. We should
organize and arrange it neatly and equip it well. That's our
responsibility....

It has been twelve years since Father proclaimed before us at the
Coronation Ceremony for the Kingship of God that Foundation Day the
thirteenth day of the first month, would be the most important day of
all. During those years he carried out many providential tasks for
the coming Foundation Day. In truth, this important day was not
easily or accidentally established. Back in the days of the Old
Testament, God established the concept of the chosen people for His
providence of restoration and prepared the people of Israel to be His
chosen people. The Israelites knew they were a special people and
they waited for the coming of the Savior, believing that everything
would be resolved when he came. They also believed that he would come
in all splendor. It is my opinion that they did not know about
indemnity. In working for the providence of restoration, you are
given special responsibilities, and if you fail to fulfill them, you
need to indemnify that. This is also true in the present era. When
you have responsibilities, there is every chance that you may need to
offer indemnity.

Every one of you here should participate and sincerely invest your
whole self.
